Mystery 101: An Education in Murder (2020)
Welcome back to Girls Gone Hallmark, where we’re diving into another lesson in love, literature, and – of course – murder. In Mystery 101: An Education in Murder, a student’s research paper reopens a cold case that hits close to home, giving Amy and Travis one more shot at clearing a fellow Elmstead professor’s name. With campus scandals, buried secrets, and a final exam no one saw coming, this installment proves that even on summer break, the homework never ends for our favorite crime-solving duo.
As part of Girls Gone Hallmark Summer School, we’re hitting the books—and the case files – breaking down every twist, every shady suspect, and every swoony stare between Amy and Travis.
